Today is what I've been dreaming about for 3 years. I finally took the plunge considering the discount and the $7,500 rebate.
When I arrived I seen the car parked off to the side and confirmed that it was mine with the Tesla representative. They were in the middle of a software update so it gave me a chance to do my inspections.
I was kind of concerned about the inspection beforehand after watching various YouTube videos and reading forums about some of the issues.
My daughter and I went over the paint, detail and gapping and everything seemed perfect. Then we open and closed all the doors including the trunk and the hood everything was okay. I was actually shocked by how quiet and smooth opening and shutting the doors was and my wife has Lexus for comparison.
Next I reviewed the inside of the car looking for any marks stains gaps or anything that was out of line. Everything was perfect and top quality I was very impressed.
I thought it was strange when the odometer indicated zero miles driven with a battery 258 miles available.
Everything was perfect so we accepted delivery within 30 minutes.
Next we hit the road and after 10 miles of calibration so we kicked in the auto pilot. It was so nice because after a few miles we were in heavy traffic and someone slightly ahead of us swerved over into our lanes and the car automatically veered slightly to the right and slow down.
I've heard about M3 road noise but I was quite satisfied with how quite the car was at all speed levels. The handling of the car was perfect and it was such a good experience. I'm not an audiophile but I was very satisfied with the sound system.
Tomorrow I'm getting the gen 3 charger installed.
It was a great first day and I hope to get many years out of it. In reality it's my daughter's car when she graduates from nursing school.
Fingers crossed for continued good luck and quality!
